Richard Durrett: Zack Greinke. It may seem a little crazy, but I still think the Angels will get things together enough to claim one of those AL wild card spots. And if they do, Greinke could be critical as they try to get that spot or are forced to play in that one-game playoff.

Christina Kahrl: Hanley Ramirez for the Dodgers. Maybe it's true that some Fish grow to the size of the tank they're in, but keep HanRam's situation in mind: A star player, getting away from baseball's biggest sham franchise and ownership team to a ballclub so recently liberated from a similar circumstance? See you in October, because Ramirez will finally get a shot at shining on a national stage in a game that matters.

Bill Baer: He hasn't been blazing hot so far, but Hanley Ramirez will prove to be a valuable asset as the Dodgers contend for the NL West crown. They had been getting abysmal production from their shortstop and third baseman. If the Dodgers reach the postseason, they'll be looking to Ramirez to lead an otherwise lackluster offense -- the Dodgers have the NL's worst slugging percentage.

Really? What do those stats look like? By my count, he has had at least a few hits that guaranteed a win and, before I left on vacay earlier this week, had had like 18 RBI in 17 games. What is blazing hot again?
